Technology Leadership

Donaldson is always developing next generation products and services to solve complex filtration and contamination control challenges. As today’s equipment and technology advances, our vast network of expert scientists, multi-disciplined engineers and state-of-the-art internal resources help us create innovative solutions to anticipate and exceed these evolving requirements.

A Record of Innovation and Industry Firsts

We are a recognized pioneer in fine fiber technology. For over two decades, we have manufactured and tested filter elements using fibers less than a micron in width. In the transportation market, with tightening environmental regulations and improved aerodynamics necessitating decreasing sizes and weights, our R&D efforts have produced smaller, lighter and more efficient filters and filtration systems.

Talented and Experienced Colleagues

Our engineering, technology and operations staffs are continually developing innovative solutions to anticipate and exceed evolving requirements. With over 1,600 active patents and industry-leading material and product design, our employees are vital to Donaldson's 100-year history of success.
